Skyvia Backup vs. Spanning Backup

Skyvia Backup is well suited for Salesforce backup creation, retention, and partial restoration.

Spanning Backup for G Suite is great for businesses or schools who want peace of mind that important data in Google Drive are backed up and easy to restore. It should not be used to backup your servers/etc as the backup and restore process is not THAT quick. Not slow, but not the quickest.

• Skyvia Backup is a web tool, that's why we don't need to install and maintain it. The interface is pretty intuitive and you can clearly see what's going on with your backups, compare backup versions, and restore specific records per request.

• Set it and forget it. Easy set up and it runs daily behind the scenes.
• Restore holds record relationships.
• Restore can merge records easily.

• We'd like some improvement on backup email notification - we receive emails if the backup creation has failed for some reason, but we don't receive them when it has been completed, or when we run out of disk space. It requires spending some additional time to log in and check whether the disk space is still enough. Would be great to save this time for other tasks.

• Administrative users can backup multiple accounts at one time, but can only restore one account at a time.
• Management console navigation opens additional tabs, but I believe they are working to improve that.
• It would be nice to be able to delete emails and files from user accounts from within Spanning instead of having to login to Google as the user.
• Google Forms meta-data is not able to be restored to other accounts.

The web console is easy to use.

I love their Customer Care Team.

I would like a retention option on the data, but since this feature does not currently exist, I give it a 9. Everything has met our standards and needs and we are now freed up from the manual efforts it was taking for backing up Salesforce using the out-of-the-box features of Salesforce.

We evaluated Spanning Backup for Salesforce, but it didn't match our business scenario, as they create daily incremental backups without a possibility for retention.

Spanning Backup for G Suite backs up Google Drive files and Unitrends is used for more VM infrastructure.

• We haven't measured the ROI yet, but the fact that we don't have to pay per each user that accesses our backup account is very beneficial to us, as we are a small organization.

• Allowed us to restore our data various times with minimal costs
• Gives us great piece of mind with the regular scheduled backing up
• Pretty simple to set up and configure. Easy integration with SFDC
